in place

Thursday January 5th, Luke 2: 27 That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, 28 Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying, 29" Lord, now I can die in peace! As you promised me, 30 I have seen the Savior 31 you have given to all people. 32 He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!" The New Year has started, where is the Spirit leading you? Simeon had a longing for the presence of God in his life. When the promise came, all of life was complete, all of life made sense. Jesus calls you this year to have a similar longing for God in your life. A longing that will not stop, nor let anything get in the way of a relationship with God. When that happens, everything else will just to fall into place. That doesn’t mean that everything will be perfect, it does mean that everything that is important is in place. From that vantage point, the love flows. What are you searching for that would make your life complete 2012? It most likely can be found in a community of faith surrounded by others who are searching for what is in their midst.
